Swiss Cottage and Spa by Salvus is an inviting retreat with a calming atmosphere, just a stone's throw away from the Ganga. The food was delicious, offering authentic Uttarakhand dishes, and the yoga sessions were a delightful bonus. However, there were some issues with the room's amenities, including a broken TV and weak Wi-Fi. Overall, it's a beautiful spot for relaxation but be cautious of securing your belongings.
